Chapter 53: The Unpredictable Heart

In the spring to hear, there is actually no so-called deep hatred between the two of the Zhan family and the Sun family, one is that Sun Huai's ex-wife and the Zhan family are extremely friendly, although they died of illness, leaving a pair of young children, Sun Huai will definitely continue the string, Zhan has no position to interfere with Sun Huai's remarriage, but it is inevitable to compare the continuation with his friends, Zhan thinks that the continuation is a widow, there is a suspicion of a hard husband, and he is not optimistic about this marriage, but he did not expect Sun Huai to marry again not long after, he really fell ill and died, and Zhan decided that the Sun family was an ominous person.

Moreover, Zhan's is a cool person, but the Sun family is soft and weak, and the two are incompatible, and the Zhan family looks down on many of the Sun family's actions, especially Sun Huai's orphans, among whom the girl suffered from a cold and fever, and people were burned in a daze and unconscious, but the Sun family did not dare to report to the main family to find a way to ask for a doctor, and was silent, crying while wiping the girl's body with cold water to try to reduce the heat, if Zhan hadn't found it in time, maybe the girl would have died of illness, and Zhan would have complained more about the Sun family. simply adopted a pair of children from a friend under his knees.

Among the servants, there are also many snobbish eyes, and these people in the kitchen see that the Zhan family does not like the Sun family, and some of them are just gradually estranged from the Sun family, and what is worse is that they fall into the well.

Therefore, the most unprofitable errands in the kitchen fell on the Sun family.

After hearing this, Chun Gui thought: In the past, it was the Bai family, and the errand responsible for distributing food and drink to the Bai family was naturally scrambling, and only if the Bai family was punished and lost power, this errand would no longer have the benefits of the past, and it would be shirked to the Sun family.

She was almost sure that the Sun family was the one who was in charge of delivering the food before the Bai family's death, so she asked Mother He: "I look at the situation of that servant woman, and I seem to be particularly afraid of Mo Wendao, what is the reason for this?" ”

Mother He suddenly snorted, obviously knowing but worried that Chungui was an outsider, and it was difficult to speak.

The third grandmother asked very pertinently because of the words of Chungui, and faintly guessed a clue, raised her eyebrows, and couldn't wait to speak: "Gu Niangzi is not an outsider, my mother will tell the truth directly." ”

Although this is in line with the intention of returning to spring, she still feels that she can't cry or laugh: Why am I not an outsider?

Looking at Mother He again, there was no hesitation at this moment, and the excitement in her tone couldn't be hidden: "Originally, Gu Niangzi didn't ask, and the slave maid also wanted to report to his wife and grandmother, this matter is really amazing!" ”

Seeing that the third grandmother and Chun Guiju were concentrating, Mother He naturally didn't dare to hang her appetite, and continued: "The slave maid comforted the Sun family earlier, but she didn't think too much about it, thinking that she was really sick, so she was so excited, but she didn't know that the Sun family quietly told the slave maid that she was afraid of being seen through by Mo Wendao, and she was the one who killed the third wife!" ”

"What are these words?!" The third grandmother's faint guess in her heart was confirmed, but she was still shocked.

The Sun family said that at that time, the third wife was trapped in the courtyard, and she sent the food on time, and Mrs. Zhan also told her, saying that it was the wife's confession, and she couldn't dare to slack off because the third wife was punished by the master. On that day, on the way to deliver the food of the Sun family, I met the contemplative girl in the wife's house, saying that she had been instructed by the wife, and specially came to check whether the kitchen had deducted the diet of the third wife, opened the food box and looked at it, picked out a plate of almond crisp, and said that the third wife has always disliked almonds, and asked the Sun family to change to another pastry, and the Sun family went to the inner kitchen again, and changed the horseshoe cake. ”

Originally, the Sun family didn't think much about it, until Mo Wendao came to the door, opened the altar and tried to open it, and it spread in the family, saying that the third wife did not commit suicide, but was killed by someone, and the Sun family was panicked, thinking that day, when she went back to the kitchen to change the horseshoe cake, the girl Ning Si offered to leave the food box and the meal to be taken care of by her, so as to save the Sun family's back and forth, and the Sun family suspected that the girl Ning Si took advantage of that opportunity to poison the meal, and the meal was sent by her to the third wife, isn't it also an accomplice? She was afraid that Mo Dao would see through it, so she didn't dare to approach. ”

"Sure enough, it's the contemplation!" The third grandmother's eyes were almost not round, but her expression did not contain annoyance: "If the third wife is really poisoned, the murderer has no rest, Ning Si first framed the third wife, causing the third wife to be punished by the master, and then followed by the Sun family, poisoning the third wife's diet, causing the third wife to be afraid of crime and taking poison, but this meditation is just a maidservant, where did she come from, and dared to do evil things that harm people's lives." ”

She stared at Mother He, wanting to hear Mother He's logical reasoning, but even though Mother He had the intention to please the second wife, she didn't dare to discuss the rights and wrongs of the eldest wife, so she only said: "So from the slave's point of view, it must be the Sun family's either worrying and speculating, or she is deliberately defiling the contemplative girl, it can't be that she poisoned the third wife's diet." ”

This answer naturally did not satisfy the third grandmother, and it also made Chungui extremely chilling.

At the end of the day, Lan Ting returned to the guest house, and saw Chun Gui sitting sullenly at the bottom of the corridor, he couldn't help but wonder: "Even I have heard about the rumors, the entire Wang family, how many servants are talking about the Zhou family poisoning the Bai family, I guess Huihui should make some progress here, but looking at your look, it doesn't seem like there has been progress?" ”

Chun Guiqiang cheered up: "It's not that there is no progress. ”

He truthfully described this paragraph of the Sun family, and also confessed the reason for his depression: "I lived He's face, and looked at her usual behavior, and believed that she was a kind and friendly person, she said that she was sympathetic to the Sun family, and often took care of it, I listened to the Sun family's even dare to tell the He family this secret, and I didn't doubt He's words." To say that it involves human life, the He family does not dare to conceal it for the Sun family, and it is reasonable to report to the main family, and although the Sun family is involved, she has no intention of killing others, but she is just used by the murderer without knowing it, Wang Jiugui is not a vicious master, and he will not anger the Sun family in the future. ”

Chungui frowned as he spoke: "But I didn't expect that in order not to be implicated, the He family would insist that the Sun family was framed, and even the real murderer, and he didn't want her to do this at all, and it was very likely that the Sun family would be put to death, and the Sun family trusted her so much, where did he think that the He family would be so hypocritical." ”

Chun Gui didn't believe that the He family couldn't see that the Sun family was indeed innocent, and he didn't have the courage to slander and meditate, let alone poison people's lives, if the He family wanted to stay out of the matter, there was no need to frame the Sun family at all, as long as he reported what he heard to Wang Jiugui truthfully.

But on the one hand, she wanted to please the Zheng family, and on the other hand, she didn't want to offend the Zhou family, so she dared to put an innocent person who even really trusted her to death for the sake of these small interests.

"Huihui is blaming himself, because of your question, it affected the Sun family?" Although Lan Ting was inquiring, he was already sure in his heart, he smiled slightly, and comforted Chungui: "Although the He family has this malicious intention, even the Zheng family is afraid that the situation will develop according to the He family's fabrication, the Sun family is just a servant, and has nothing to do with the Zhou family, so let the Sun family's guilt is not the slightest benefit for the Zheng family, otherwise it will not be half a day, how can rumors spread that it is the Zhou family who instructed Ning Si to poison the Bai family?" ”

"That's why I'm worried." Chun Gui said: "The Sun family has no evidence to prove that Ning Si was poisoned, and now there are rumors spreading, the Zhou family is the upright mother of the Wang family, and her reputation is tarnished, the root cause is because of the Sun family's words, can the Sun family be punished?" ”

Although the law stipulates that the master's family cannot beat the servants and maids, even if they are beaten, they are only punished by one year in prison, and manslaughter is not illegal, so there is a lot of loopholes to exploit.

Not to mention that the Sun family was accused of framing the main family and even poisoning the main family, and as soon as she was sent to the yamen, there was only a dead end waiting for her.

"If Huihui is really relieved, I will go again, and I will suggest Wang Weng to just question the Sun family and Ning Si separately, and not investigate the rights and wrongs of the two first, this is also to avoid startling the snake, and after the case is clear, the murderer will not escape punishment, and innocent people will naturally not be implicated."

"It's safer that way." Chungui hurriedly agreed.

After Lan Ting returned later, after asking Wang Jiugui if he promised not to punish the Sun family, Chun Gui was completely relieved. Lan Ting saw that she finally flattened her eyebrows, loosened the corners of her lips, and didn't want to talk too much, but she said it for some reason: "I see that Huihui is very unkind to the He family, and by the way, he mentioned to Wang Weng those words that He said, Wang Weng is a person who understands when it comes to governing the family, and immediately realized that He's heart is too selfish, and it is quite ruthless, such a servant woman is naturally not suitable for her to be exposed to food and other important matters, He should be treated coldly, and she will be blamed." ”

Although she didn't want to interfere in other people's housework, Chungui didn't want to interfere with it, but when she heard that the evil person was punished, she also felt happy in her heart, so she curled the corners of her lips more and more, raised her eyes to look at Lan Ting, and saw the almost overflowing smile in the man's eyes, and felt warm in her heart, like afterglow immersed in it, and like Chunlan Yangsheng.
